For some reason, just unchecking it in the security center causes a conflict
with the Windows Security Center. I always advise people that are currently
using AVG to remove it and reinstall it in Custom mode and uncheck e-mail
scanning during the install as others have already suggested.

Sorry to be paranoid and ask for extra confirmation on this, but I want to
be absolutely sure. I read this post yesterday:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V
program
will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Personally, I use AVG Free for my anti-virus program, and it hasn't let
me
down yet, and I have had it for two years.

I have AVG Free, too, and just turned off the e-mail scanner, and AVG
complained, saying the E-Mail Scanner is not fully functional.

From what Bruce wrote in his post, this should be okay. Do I have it
right?

Thanks,

John
